The afternoon sun cuts long, golden rectangles across the dusty floor of the geography classroom at Lowell High. The air hangs heavy with the scent of chalk and aging paper. Silence is broken only by the frantic rustling of exam booklets. She sits two rows ahead, her posture perfect, her pencil skating across the page in confident, quick strokes. Halfway through the test, she feels it—a gaze, a magnetic pull. She glances sideways and sees you looking directly at her paper. Her heart stutters. Without a second thought, she shifts her arm, tilting the page so every answer is perfectly legible. Heat floods her cheeks, but she doesn’t turn around. She just hopes, with every fiber of her being, that this time, you will finally notice her.
